1. Make sure that the dust bag has been installed correctly. It should be attached to the nozzle. If it is not it could cause quite a mess.
2. Plug in the vacuum into an outlet with no obstructions. Next, turn the unit on by pushing the power on pedal near the base of the vacuum.
3. Now be sure that the cleaning component is placed at the right level. Long carpet will need to be at a different level than short carpet or hardwood floor and linoleum type surfaces.
4. The yellow tech drive pedal can be engaged at this point. Be careful to keep the vacuum away from walls and corners until you get the feel for the self propelled function.
5. Vacuum as you normally would and be sure to unplug the Kirby when you are finished. The vacuum should then be stored in a cool and dry area.

DO YOU OWN A $6000 DOLLAR VACUUM CLEANER?
Do you own a 6000 dollar cleaner?
Ever wonder where all those disposable vacuums your buying from the big box stores end up? The land fill.....along with your hard earned cash. So lets talk about...
One of the main issues with any type of vacuum that can reduce cleaning and suction power is when the roller becomes full of debris. Hair and carpet strands can get stuck in a roller and cause the roller to stop moving at the appropriate speed. This can also get in the way of suction. Many times you will notice an odd noise when you turn your cleaner on.
If you have noticed a loud noise, if your Kirby is difficult to push or it is not cleaning well, troubleshoot for a roller problem. Turn your vacuum off and unplug the cord. Push down the adjustment lever and take off the hood. Now you will be able to get to the area that holds the belt. Check the belt for any wear or extreme tear. A stretched out belt can cause these issues as well and they are easy to replace.
The roller may need to be taken completely out of the hood to be checked. Look for any cracks and remove any hair or upholstery strands that are wrapped around it. If the roller is not inserted correctly back into the hood, the vacuum will not function properly. Be sure to look at your manual if you do not know how to put it back in.
Lastly, you should check the bag of the vacuum. A small leak or tear can drastically reduce overall cleaning power. Changing a vacuum bag is simple. A bag that is caked with dirt will also need to be replaced for full function cleaning.
